Ultra-Luxury Nosy Ankao Island Escape (7 Days)

Overview

Situated northeast of mainland Madagascar, Nosy Ankao is an idyllic, reef-protected archipelago paradise. A helicopter ride to Miavana by Time + Tide offers breathtaking aerial views of the luxury hotel located on the largest island, showcasing dense forests and pristine white sandy beaches from above. This secluded haven provides both adventurous and relaxing experiences, enhanced by ongoing conservation efforts that have increased indigenous trees and the presence of their charming fluffy lemur inhabitants.

Embark on a thrilling tropical adventure as you cycle along the island, uncovering secret coves and secluded beaches.
